Yeah this is interesting. I've always thought this walking around thing that some managers think they should do is pretty useless and even toxic. All you can see when "walking around" a knowledge worker office is what's on peoples' screens at that moment and whether they are typing. But this is useless information, and it's actively counterproductive for people to be self conscious about what's on their screen when people are walking around behind them. But I like what you've proposed here as a virtual "walking around" a lot more! The kinds of things you're describing are a lot closer to the pulse of what's going on than seeing what's on random peoples' screens at random times.
